SilverSamurai Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 So I was looking around the CONCACAF store and decided to check out the Canada gear. Still no kit available (why am I not surprised?), but it looks like their is a new Canada scarf. http://www.concacafshop.com/can0063310810.html Can it be? Finally a new scarf? Anyways here a link to the other Canada gear. Not that theirs really a whole lot... http://www.concacafshop.com/categories-canada.html Good start to the Gold Cup! Whoo!

Portuguese Sensation Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Can I say something and I really hope this doesn't get people angry... but can Canada please get a new logo??? I'm sure someone can come up with a new design circa this century... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Well, I see that the scarf has the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 what a cheap and ugly scarf. we may be doing a new V's scarf run shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Speaking of new scarves, the CONCACAF booth in Los Angeles was selling knockoff Canada shirts and scarves. I got a picture, but suffice to say that if you wear one of those you should just give up and go cheer for Botswana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlimus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I spent 20 minutes looking for somewhere to get the new jersey online today. Nothing. Squizz on It's called Soccer had one, so maybe he can help out. Kinda pathetic really. I checked out the CSA store, Concacaf store, and just about every big Toronto sports store that has a webpage, and absolutely nothing. For 50 bucks I'll get the 2007 home shirt from the CSA site next time I'm home. No real difference anyways, as Squizz's top wasn't sporting the Gold Cup logo anyhow. On a side note I agree with you Port Sensation, the logo is outdated to say the least. The majority of Voyageurs like it though, so we're stuck with it for now.

squizz1402635577 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ^ I've actually got the old jersey; I bought it about three years ago and it has the outdated logo (same as the scarf pictured above). I just bought it at some sporting goods store on Yonge Street. I can also tell you where I bought my hat, if you're interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 What's wrong with you people? The Voyageurs' scarf is the ONLY one that matters! If anyone needs a scarf, then they should join the Voyageurs and be a real SUPPORTER of our country. (Then you buy a Vs scarf, practically at cost!) If you really need a Canada scarf for fashion sense, well I'd suggest you ask Ed for his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 The 2007/08 edition jersey is also sold on-line here, if it helps anyone: http://www.rivercitysports.com/US/details-06.cfm?sku=132156 What I do like is their GC training suits, but I haven't seen them at the retail level.

earlimus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Damn!!! That one is twice the price for what I can tell to be the exact same shirt! No wonder the CSA is so broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I remember when a local company in Vancouver had a company in Britain make some (1000, I think) Canada scarves because the CSA would have nothing to do with it. They of course could not even put the CSA crest on them. How times have changed when there's a new scarf and it's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSamurai Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Whoa, didnt' mean to cause such a scandal. I agree that the V's scarf is much better, but I figured I'd toss out another option in the event anyone was interested. I do agree that the CSA logo needs a massive update, and I don't mean just updating their font... it's a start at least though... If anyone is near Toronto, the adidas (megastore?) store at Dundas Sq. was having a 50% off sale on almost everything in the store. Go figure TFC stuff was not on sale, but they had a rack of Canada kits at half off. It looked like most of it was Kids stuff, but I did see another rack with more Canada stuff. Maybe this will make it easier for someone, but we all know its next to impossible to find Canada stuff. Also the Soccer Fanatic in DT Guelph carries Canada soccer stuff (mens and womens) as the owner is Canada supporter and doesn't push it to the back wall.

VPjr Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Now that the Adidas / CSA relationship is officially kaput (not sure when that becomes official but that marriage is officially over and we'll probably be all wearing Nike soon enough) i have a feeling that any and all leftover Adidas gear will be sold off at big discounts, which is probably why the Adidas superstore is doing a blowout.

Razcle Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That scarf is a joke IMO. Nothing fancy at all. Wouldn't pay more than $10 for it and only because I am a passsionate Canadian and must have left my old scarf at home. Ok...I was supposed o have Lord Bob fly a V's scarf back from LA to COlumbus, but somehow it got mishandled. Does anyone know how I can get a V's scarf please??? I though Brennanfan had the last of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_AM_CANADIAN Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 TBH I like the old logo, but that scarf is nothing to write home about. The V's scarf blows it well out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V's scarf blows it well out of the water. I prefer the "old logo" because it shows a bit more effort than a regular font. THe logo itself is still terrible.

earlimus Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Can anyone verify if there are Men's medium Canada kits on sale at the Adidas store in Dundas Square, or is it just kids stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 good riddance adidas I hope that they're truly done with us, lame kits and no marketing vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlimus Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 True true. I agree. Other than Nike, no one has the distribution power of Adidas. Puma would be the next biggest, but even they can't match the number of kits that Adidas could have put on the shelves. Unfortunately, as Soju has stated, they didn't do dick all. It's easier to buy a LA Galaxy shirt in our own country. The kits were always boring and as plain as you could imagine. They didn't even have them available for major tournaments or WC qualifications. Good riddance jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
